    G Force Experienced in Suspension Learning Curve.. Questions

    Oly. Girl beer. Look up Automotive spring supply in your area. 2 in PDX just south of you, Oregon Spring and Benz spring. Call your local spring supplier and tell them your sad tale of woe. I did a spring conversion on a '93 F350 and it was a learning curve. About $1200 for all 4 corners, if...

    Power steering leak

    Replace that white seal. Hot water to stretch it out VERY carefully and work it into place, then cold water to shrink it. You may even be able to locate the special cone tool to facilitate seal installation. HOT to install, COLD to shrink. Buy more than one seal.

    Air build up in power steering

    The return line is simply clamped on and is wet the entire length of the hose. Loose/damaged clamp? Wrong style hose? Is it rated for ATF? Could it be possible the oil is leaking through the hose?

    Late to the party. '95 PSD CEL/Rough idle/Excessive engine noise

    Late to the party. '95 PSD CEL/Rough idle/Excessive engine noise. I am on my 3rd idi, and my fist PSD. This is in a F450 with a hyd tilt bed on it. It hasn't come home yet, but should be this Sunday late afternoon. I have not driven it and no idea what it does at road speed. Hard to pass up at...

    Happy Birthday to me. Show me the pic's of your dually.

    Oh yeah, I hit 66 mark and now starting 67. Cute truck in the last pic. Wood sides might be an option. Stained and Varathaned.

    Happy Birthday to me. Show me the pic's of your dually.

    Happy Birthday to me. Show me the pic's of your dually. Or any good looking flat bed. Yep. Since the kid wiped out the bed, I might as well convert this toy to a dually flat bed with dump. I have the hyd lift sitting on a pallet that was going to go onto another truck but plans have changed...

    So I loaned the truck. .. .

    I believe you hit a cord. I might have to change it up. I currently do have a '93 F350 dually flatbed I picked up for "near free" and another F350 that is going to donate it's Jake Brake. Next time he runs into it, might be cheaper.

    So I loaned the truck. .. .

    I have one of those in the yard and am still slightly considering it. I have come to the suspicion that I am going to be the one doing most of the labor and expense to get this done. The addition of the Jake brake on the Allison will be a welcome addition. that Allison under a load likes to free...

    No Cam End Play

    Next time hit it with a hammer first. That way you can knock the plug out of the back of the engine and that should give you more play. . . Right after you pull the engine to reinstall that plug.

    New truck for me what to do

    Water wetter in the coolant is a good place to start. If the edge of the brake pedal is worn down to metal, it probably rolled over. if the drivers seat edge is worn out, it probably rolled over. if the drivers door sags, it probably rolled over. So you tell me, HAS it rolled over?

    OEM 90° Fuel Connector

    Napa is going to be your friend on your search. Find the old counter guy who knows how to open a catalog. The young kids are just about smart enuff to punch a key board and don't have any knowledge of paper.

    So I loaned the truck. .. .

    The truck has liability only and the title would be branded after an insurance payout. I was intending on repainting it pearl at any rate so that leaves me replacing the bed. Picking up the Jake brake and the Hidden Hitch might make it a trade off in the loss category. Just a lot more labor...

    So I loaned the truck. .. .

    The 34 year old son said he found a free case 580CK Backhoe. I gave him the keys to the White '94 7.3 idiT CC Dually. I said "Go have fun". Finances have been snug and no Haggerty insurance. He called me. Oops. Apparently the free machine had no brakes. He became acutely aware of this as it ran...

    single seat

    Ford bucket seats of that era were attached to a sub bracket that used the same mounting holes as the bench seat. I believe the Bronco might have done the same thing but with different dimensions.

    Bench seat upholstery

    I believe that is a loose fitting cover and you basically get to hog ring it into place. Seatcoversunlimited might be worth a look. Same price range. Those are more of a stretch fit and can go from a bad look as above to something that is not baggy in appearance. When looking at a photo, look...

    Well, Fu-udge.

    Bamboozled!! So I have been playing with the 7.5 gasser and found a common man made fault. The starter solenoid was physically internally broken and I stuffed on a Motorcraft unit. The starter that was in there had been recently replaced but was dragging when the engine started. The spinning...

    Well, Fu-udge.

    Oh Happy Joy! Considering the truck is basically free if I sell the lumber rack for $300, I came across a scissor hoist for $500. I am in the process of cuting that out of an old frame it was in, and adding it to the F350 to make it a dump bed. Speaking of the F350, the stater is currently...

    Well, Fu-udge.

    The ladder truck is for sale. Fires right up runs and drives. The son bought it because he was "going to" convert it into some kind of "Service/Towing" rig. It needs an electrical genny to run the ladder apparatus and it didn't have one when the kid got the truck. With my money. Here it sits...

    Well, Fu-udge.

    Ah yes, It needs a few things, The rad is very low and colored like red clay/rust and the engine runs rough. I got the battery charged and the already new, and replaced the internally broken starter solenoid (It rattled) and it now starts with just the key. Maybe a head gasket in the future but...

    Well, Fu-udge.

    So there I was Playing with Facebook marketplace. A dangerous place for a mentally challenged person such as I. There I was looking for a dump trailer and ran across a '93 F350 dually with the 7.3 for $1,000 I contacted the owner who didn't quite speak the best English. (He was Samoan) He sent...
